Oswaldo Álvarez González (October 19, 1933 March 8, 2008) was a Cuban professional baseball player. He played two seasons in Major League Baseball, 1958 and 1959, for the Washington Senators and Detroit Tigers. Álvarez made his major league debut as an infielder for the Senators in 1958. In 196 at bats spanning 87 games, he batted .209 with five runs batted in. He was traded twice before the start of the 1959 season, first to the Cleveland Indians for veteran utility man Jay Porter. He then was part of a major trade involving the Indians and the Detroit Tigers in which he and two top pitchers, Don Mossi and Ray Narleski, were sent to the Tigers for Billy Martin and Al Cicotte. He appeared in eight games for the Tigers, singling in two at bats for his only other major league experience.
